Bump for later post.....
Yet people wonder why our public school system has failed.
Sounds like these brain damaged teachers have just stepped in #2!
If pencils are outlawed, only accountants will have pencils.
Had pencil lead in my leg that took about 30 years to work its way out. Never should have tugged that girls hair in music class.
Next, they’re going to outlaw reading to protect students from being victimized by “misinformation”.
I don’t get it...was it just a secretary checking to see if her boss actually reads the paperwork before he signs it?
When I was a kid the school district gave each kid one pencil a month. If you lost your pencil in the middle of the month, you were screwed.
I befriended a former schoolteacher later in life — she was telling me about a time that she gave a kid a pencil and was castigated by one of her colleagues. “How is the kid going to learn responsibility?” the colleague asked.
We discussed it among ourselves. There are many reasons other than lack of responsibility why a kid might not have a pencil. Maybe a bully swiped it from him. Also if a kid doesn’t have a pencil, how is he going to get one unless someone gives him one?
When I used to have to enter prisons for the job that I had several years back I was told that I could not bring in pencils. Pens were allowed but not pencils since they were too dangerous if a prisoner would get their hands on one. What amazes me is that as our schools continue to become more like our prisons that parents still will send their children into that environment.
